a Blow ON the. Nose.

1t has been said that tho hurts suffered
IN pugilism arc particularly severe, and
that few pains equal the pain resulting
from blow Of the fist squarely and fore
IDLY delivered upon the nose. An Incl
dent which goes to support this allega-
ton il reported from Paris. A lion
tanner, in one Of the Boulevard shows,
was set upon by Il powerful and irritable
old lion, whose. cage he had entered, ac-
cortling TO habit in the co,rre IF IN en-
tertainn.ent. Tho bslst made his at.
tack without warning or particular cause,
and in an instant the man was upon lis
back. between the lions paws. The
spectators screamed, thinking it was an
end of the lion tanner; but, like flash,
he was upon his feet, and striking out
with his right, in accurate pugilistic
style, landed his fist upon the lions
nose. with spat that was heard all over
the place. The lion wheczei and
sneczfi and hacked away, shaking his
head and shutting his eyes rs il lazxl,
while the man stepped quickly, but with
dignity, out Of the cage. The blow was
a good ono, and if it had fallen upon q
man would undoubtedly have .knockrl
him out" Evidently, it made the lion
tinglc from the spt where it was deliv-
cred to the tip Of his dropping ard spirit
less lail.--The Epoch.

The wisdom Of the past has come to uz

How Indian. rOisou Their Arrows.
It was lonS tin,c before Friday came,
and / began to think lo was going to dis
regard my summons, and was getting
angry, when ho suddenly put in an APP
peasance. explained to him what I
wished to know. and without the slightest
hesitation llo said to tho venerable arrow
maker:
''Tell my brother oil about tho poisoned
arrows"
"Well," said tho old man, first We
tako hoatcd yellow rattlesnakc in
August, when I've is most poisonous, and
tie him with forked stick to stake;
then We teas. him until he is in q great
rage. This is done by. passing q switch
over he body from his head TO his tail.
When nc thrcShes tho ground with his
body and his eyes grow bright and sparkle
like diamonds, wc kill deer, antelope
or some other email animal, and, tearing
out the liver, throw it 70 the snake wl,ilc
it IL warm and tho blood still coursing
through it. The reptile will strike it again
and again and pretty soon it will begin
to turn black. When he tires, the snake
is teassl again and he j. induced TO sink
his fangs into the soft flesh until all tho
poison llls been extracted from him and
the liver Is reekinS with it. He is then
killed and the liver lifted with a sharp
pole, fo: ~ dangerous il it no one tlares
touch it. The liver is 1T lie for about an
hour, when it will b. almost jet black
and emit a sour smell. Arrows are then
brought and their iron heads pushed into
the liver up to the shaft. They are left
sticking there for about ono hour and q
half, when they aro withdrawn and dried
in the sun. a thin glistcning yellow
scum ndheres to the arrow. and if it but
80 much M touches raw ticel, it is certain
to poison it to death"
l asked il Indians still used poisoned
arrows. NO." he replied, "no man,
Indian or white man, for years past has
been shot with thes.: arrows, and they arc
no longer made. Omaha Republican.

Making Calls.

Every housekeeper has among her
acquaintances certain persons whom
she is glad to have call upon her, and
certain other persons whose announced
presence in the parlOr comes like the
hour for the performance Of an un-
pleasant duty. Friends, of course,
every one is glad to see. But acquain-
tances are divided among those who
are endured. A similar division exists
among those we visit. SOmeSare glad
to see us, and some by an effort of
politeness conceal from us the pain we
are giving them.
1t is to be regretted that we can not
always know where and when we are
most likely to throw the burden of our
undesired presence upon the very per-
sons whose society gives to ourselves
the most pleasure. There is little dam
ger that we will call too often upon the
people we do not like overly well, or
that we will stay too long.
But the skillful social actress who
puts her wits to work to make herself
entertaining, who hides all traces of the
annoyances and troubles to which un-
fortunately every life is subject, and
who avoids every disagreeable topic
that would throw the shadow of a sum-
mer cloud upon the passing hour, may
tempt us to give her more of Onr COM
pany than she would measure out for
herself if the measurement were entire
ly under her own control. She can not
speak plainly or even give us hint
without being natural. and unfortunate
" to be natural when it is to be rude is
always foreign to her.
In making calls, therefore. the neces-
sity, is always with us of keeping our
selves sternly in hand, and of resisting
the temptation to trust to our moods.
1t is the safest to do as the bathers do
who never pass beyond the end of the
rope. When the waves are highest
they have the rope constantly in view,
and at the proper time when the tide
begins to recede it helps them salfey to
shore.
A predetermined limit to the dura-
tion of our calls is, to return to the sea
for figure of speech, an anchor to
windward, and the more entertaining
the hostess the more incumbent it is
upon us to end our call before she has
had time to begin to think of what she
might be accomplishing if we were not
occupying her time.

Australian Rabbits,


If the ship loaded with Australian
rabbits, which is soon expected to
arrive at San Francisco, is allowed to
discharge its cargo the gunners of this
country may possibly be furnished with
an almost endless supply of game that
is if the terrible stories of the rapid in
crease of the rabbits that precede them
are to be believed. The Australian
rabbits are so prolific, it is said, that
they Overrun farms, destroy crops,
damage trees and make the life of the
agriculturist generally miserable. Just
why these awful animals are being
brought TO this country has not trans
pired, but if they do come and increase
and multiply in the far West, for they
will have no chance in the settled East,
the railroads will have to organize
rabbit shooting excursions and thus aid
in their determination. The buffalo, to
the manor born, has disappeared except
NUN NAAO ActAAlOelu OlllC tdDlOS ludJ luI6
people to the Occidsnt; the antelope
has become curiosity the Red Man
is now numbered by hundreds only !;
grizzly bears are II novelty, and the
other native game animals are growing
in numbers smaller and beautifully less.
In view of these facts, and the fact that
for every woOdcock. every domestic
hare, every partridge and in short for
nearly every desirable bird or beast,
there are at least two eager gunners.
all fears of any serious invasion of
rabbits should be dispelled. With
English sparrows, fishery outrages and
Australian rabbits, it does look as
though England did want to pick
quarrel with Morning News.

The Training That Made Men,

The San Francisco Alta says the old
system made good men. The question
of long hours of labor is one that will
not down The Alta says: 1t is not
to the advantage Of the community to
deprive large masses of men of needful
rest and occasional leisure. But there
were generations of men reared in this
country under longer hours of labor
than are anywhere exacted now by
mine, mill OF railroad owners.
Not many years ago the majority of
labOrers in this country were on farms
engaged in rural occupations. We
know how it went with them for we
were there" Their average pay was
SIS per month. Their hour to rise and
begin the work of the day averaged,
the year round, 4.80 o'clock in the
morning, knock OF, when the last
"chore" was done, 9 O'Clock at night,
with liability to call in the night if
horse got least " in his stall, or moon
calf's mother needed looking after, or
doctor had to be ridden for to attend
some sick member of the family. The
days work, from boots to socks, was a
good full seventeen hours, for fifty
csnts.
We seem to remember that it raised
pretty good men. By three and a third
months work they earned enough
money to enter forty acres of land, and
were soon hiring other young fellows
for the same wages. In those days
young Americans were not on the trail
of a soft thing" They were not
blubbeFing on the roadside for sympa-
thy. They had no walking delegates "
to destroy the business of employers
who had been guilty of the incredible
wiekedness of giving them work and
wages. They were not in the attitude
of permanent protest against their lot
In life. Instead of whining about it
they used its few advantages to honor
ably work their way out of it, and they
were better sons, better husbands and
better fathers for the manliness engen-
dered by the experience.

that she must smile as graciously as
possible on every customer who comes
along.
Her heart may be laden with the
heaviest and darkest sorrow, and she
may, of course, have many troubles of
her own to ponder over, but neverthe-
less, she must coax winning look to
her face and the merry ogling glance
to her eyes; otherwise the proprietor is
sure to be angry and give her her walk
ing papers.
Whether in such monster warehouses
as the Louvre and Petit st. Thomas,
where the employees number several
hundred, or in solitary twelve-square-
Observation-Disclosures in one of the by
streets, the shop girl is always court
eOus and afIable. She has on every
occasion a spick-and-span politeness
about her which favorably impresses
foreigners.

The wealth Of Englishmen fora q,
series Of years was their land r1 bn :
American agricultural products have
changed all that since 1860. and Emo
hshmen nowadays are extremely anV-
lous to find other and safer sources ~
income. This accounts, in great meas
ure, for the rush to invest in the bio
British ale aud beer companies. Manv
times the stock of the Guinness Con-
pany was recently subscribed in a short
period, and the scramble last week 70
buy shares in the Allsopp brewery was
astonishing. Il took fifteen policemen
to keep the crowd of eager investors
In order. This incident lends a color
OF truth to the assertion that the in.
creased respect of Englishmen for
Americans, noted of late, is principally
due to the fact that their lands are
making poor returns at home.

der, but Ex-Governor Alger, of Michi-
gan, is building one on which he can
